Our Take
An Allure Best of Beauty Award winner in 2022 and a mainstay in the natural hair community, this protein-free whipped soufflé is designed specifically for twist-outs, braid-outs, and bantu knots on Type 4 coily hair (3c–4c). Pomegranate extract provides antioxidant protection, honey acts as a humectant to draw and retain moisture, and essential oils add the exceptional shine this product is known for — without weighing coily hair down or causing the residue buildup that heavier butters can. Apply generously to each section before twisting and leave until completely dry for best definition. One of the more widely praised Mielle products in online curly hair communities.
